Effect of Solar Eclipse Upon Animals.

although the scientific results of the
observation of the solar eclipse in this
neighborhood are insignificant, says the
Berlin correspondent of the London
Times, "some interesting reports are
given of the effects upon the lower ami
mails of the untimely observation of the
sun, Foresters state that the birds,
which had already begun to sing before
the eclipse took place, became of sud-
den quite silent, and showed signs of
disquet when darkness set in. Herds
of deer ran about in alarm, as did the
small four-footed game. In Berlin a
scientific man arranged for observations
to be made by bird-dealers of the con-
duct of their feathered stock, and the
results are found to deviate considerably.
In some cases the birds showed sudden
sleepiness, even though they had sung
before the eclipse took place. In other
cases great uneasiness and fright were
observed. 1t is noticeable that parrots
showed far more susceptibility than ca
naries, becoming totally silent during the
eclipse, and only returning very slowly
to their usual state"

HOUSEHOLD AFFAIRS.
Care of Kerosene LAMPS.

A thorough study of the subject OF pc
troleum lamps has been lately made by
Sir Frederick Abel. He suggests that
the reservoir of kerosene lamp should
always be of metal, the more strongly
to resist any explosive tendency of the oil
orvapor within, and that there should be
no other opening than that for the wick,
unless so small one that fame could
hardly enter it. He further says the wick
should be soft and dry when put in, and
should completely fill its space, but with
out forcing; that it should be scarcely
longer than to touch the bottom of the
reservoir, and there the oil should never
be suffered to be less than two thirds of
the depth, while the lamp should always
be filled partly before lighting. The
wick should never be turned down sud-
denly, and the lamp should not be sud-
denly cooled or allowed to meet a
draught; and when the flame is extin-
guished it should first be lowered as far
as possible and then sharp strong puff
should be blown across, but not down the
chimney. -Harpsr's Basar.

The Intelligence of Birds.

Dr. Charles c. Abbott says that in
experimenting on the intelligence of
birds, when he girdled branches on
which birds had built their nests, caus-
ing the foliage to shrivel, although they
had laid their eggs, they would abandon
them, but if the nests already contained
young birds, Notwithstanding the expos
IRE, they would remain until the young
were able to fly.
lie placed number of pieces of
woollen yarn-red, purple, green
and gray in color-near tree in
which pair of Baltimore orioles were
building nest. The pieces of yarn
were all exactly alike except in color,
and the red and yellow were purposely
placed on top. The birds chose only
the gray pieces, putting in few purple
ones when the nest was nearly finished.
Not red, yellow or green strand was
used

Watches for the Blind.

"This Is one of the cutest things in
the watch line that has yet appeared, :"
said Jeweler Charles S. Crossman, hold
ing UP one of the new Swiss watches de-
signed for the use of the blind. "The
old raised figure watches were clumsy
and the blind people were constantly
bending or breaking the watch hands by
touching them. In this watch Il small peg
is set in the centre Of each figure. When
the. hour hand is approaching certain
hour the peg for that hour drops when
the quarter before it is passed. The per-
son feels the peg is down, and then counts
hack to twelve. He can thus tell the
time within few minutes, and by prac-
tice he can become so expert as to tell the
time almost exactly. They have been in
use about six months, and there is steady
and growing demand for them.-Neu

A Talk with an OcuIist.

A New York Mail and Express re-
porter watched for five minutes the
human tide that swirls through Park
row opposite the Postoffice, and counted
seventy-eight persons with eyeglasses
astride their noses. Then he went to an
oculist and said: care diseases Of the
eye on the increase~
The oculist adjusted his own glasses,
looked critically at those of his ques-
toner, and said:
81 think not. When l say that, 1
don't mean that our business is falling
off. On the contrary, it is increasing
every year and will continue to do SO as
people continue to wear eyeglasses, be-
cause they think it adds to their per-
sonal appearance. You have no idea
how many there are who do this, and
only one who sees cases every day, as
do, can form any estimate of the number
of glasses that are disposed of in this
way.
"Young people study and read by dim
lamp or gas light, and of course the eye
becomes somewhat weakened. Then
the parents rush off to get pair of
spectacles, and oftentimes patronize men
who will sell them any kind of glass,
no matter how we'll it may suit the case,
just to get the money. This careless
ness is dangerous and sometimes fatal to
the organs of sight, which are entirely
too sensitive to be trifed with. The
greatest enemy to the eyes of young
men is the cigarette. Recently dis
case has appeared among smokers which
is dangerous, and after careful investi-
cation the best authorities, who for a
long time were at loss to understand
the peculiar malady have traced it to
the small, paper covered tobacco sticks.
1t is now known as the cigarette eye,
and can be cured only by long treat
ment. Its symptoms are dimness and a
flm-liko gathering over the eye, which
appears and disappears at intervals. If
young men continue to smoke cigarettes
excessively they may expect to be afflict-
ed by this troublesome disease; and it Is
not relieved by spectacles.

Danger In Dead Animals.

bacon, into human bodies. DR.. Land
rey, in The Popular Science News, sup
ports this theory with personal observa-
tons, and cites number of cases show
ing that dead rats, mice and cats should
be kept away from hogs. 1t is q CRIME
to throw dead rat to the hogs with
such facts in mind. II Chicago Times.

ReciDes.

TRIPE.-A correspondent, of Good
Cheer, who has heard that tripe
is good food for persons of deli
cate digestion, asks how it should
be cooked. A good way is to
first cut it into pieces not more than an
inch square, fry them in butter, and
favor with onion sliced very thin, and
with pepper and salt.
TEA RUsKs.-One quart of milk
warmed, half cup soft yeast, and flour
to make thick batter. Mix at night,
andin the morning add one cup each of
butter and sugar rubbed together, and
two eggs we'll beaten and mix into soft
dough. Let it rise again, mold into
biscuit form, put them in tin, and,
when light, bake. AS you take them
from the oven when done wet the top
with sweet milk, in which a spoonful of
sugar has been dissolved. 1t makes the
crust tender and hard.
OUNCE MARMALADE.-Pare and core
the fruit and cut it up rather fine. Cover
with water and cook until tender. Mean
while,ain another kettle simmer the
cores and skins In sufficient water to
keep them from burning. Strain off the
gelatinous liquid which will have formed,
and add it to the ounce pulp, with three
quarters of pound of sugar to q pound
of the fruit. Boil the whole, stirring
constantly until it is smooth mass. Try
it as in making jelly, and when it as
sumes firm consistency make it up in
jars or bowls as convenient. Cover
tightly and keep in dry place. 1t will
keep perfectly the year round.
WAFFLEs.-Pa one pint of warm,
soft-boiled rice through seive,
and add to it small teaspoon
full of salt, one tablespoonful of
-four sifted with two teaspoonfuls of
baking powder. Beat the whites of
three eggs to stiff froth. Beat the yolks
Of the three eggs as light as possible and
mix with three gills of milk stir the
mixture into the rice and -four and add
an ounce of melted butter add the
frothed whites mix all thoroughly to-
gether and pour into the waffle iron, bak-
ing delicate brown. The wafie-iron
should be heated, we'll creased and filed
two-thirds full with the mixture.

Mrs. Howe was a Soldier.
SAYS SHE SERVED IN THE ARMY AND Is EMIT
To WEAR THE BADGE.


To WEAR THE BADGE.
Mrs Kate W. Howe, who was arrested at Bridge
ton, N. j., for wearing a Grand Army badge
waived a hearing Wednesday morning and entered
security for her appearance at court. She then
proceeded TO denounce In bitter terms all those
who were concerned In causing her arrest. Mrs.
Howe says she has four Grand Army badges pre-
Sented TO her at different times by comrades. The
one which she has with her she claims was given
her by comrades In New York state in 1862 She
says she served in the 2Sth Massachusetts, and
also other Massachusetts regiments, but declines
10 tell what companies, because she promised her
mother on her death-bed not to reveal a certain
secret until the death OF a certain member OF the
family, and this member Is now living In another
country. Mrs Howe claims to have served as
drummer boy, private and lieutenant In the Army
and says she was engaged In the battles OF Shiloh,
Lookout Mountain, and one battle OF Bull Run,
and that she was In the 2Sth Massachusetts in the
peninsula under Col. Montieth, attached to the
Irish Brigade. She also says that she had served
three years when she was wounded and her sex
discovered While speaking to the reporter she
placed her hand on her hip. with an exclamation
that her wound was palning her. She says she Is
Nirgtnan by birth, but passed part OF her child
hood In Massachusetts,. She says that she was
able 10 conceal her sex so long in the Army be-
cOuse OF the presence OF her brother. Mrs Howe
Is a tall, powerful looking woman, and a ready
and pain-SpOken talker. She asserts that she has
right TO wear the badge, and that her arrest is
persecution.
